Quick answer: As of October 8, 2026, the number with the longest current gap across major US lottery games is 11 in Mega Millions, which has not been drawn in 57 draws — about 4.9× its typical gap. This is a record of past draws; it does not make that number more likely to be drawn next.

"How overdue" = current gap ÷ the number's average gap. A higher ratio describes a longer-than-usual wait in past draws; it does not change the odds of the next draw.
For each game we count, for every number, the draws elapsed since it last appeared and compare it to that number's historical average gap. Multi-state games (Powerball, Mega Millions) are measured only over the current game matrix, so the figures reflect the balls actually in play today rather than retired number pools. Data refreshes after every drawing.
Lottery drawings are random and independent. "Overdue" describes the past, not the future — a number that hasn't appeared is no more likely to be drawn next time. This research is for information and entertainment only. Play responsibly; if gambling is a problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER.
